Hello,

What issue are you having with that bolt?
Is it seized on the alternator? Or you cannot remove it completely due to it hitting somewhere?

In order to remove the alternator, the right-hand side intermediate shaft needs to be removed along with the splash shield.

I have attached the replacement procedure below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
